Love my 1979, 1100 3" Mag. All steel! Too bad I loaned it to my bipolar nephew to take duck hunting
onceand despite him being a good kid and not dumb either, he put it away wet in the case. When I got after him to get it back to me, he took is out and panicked at all the rust freckling. It gets worse. He then tried bluing over the rust freckles with some cheap cold blue (black) and actually made it look worse. Bore and action are fine and it still shoots great. 20 years later, now that he's rolling in dough from his IT consultant job, I should shame him into paying to have it professionally reblued.
